Model pick 1–0
Result after 90 minutes: 2–0. The model tipped 1–0 and scored 1 point.
Most likely scores
Why
The model expects Brest to score 1.50 goals: league home average 1.70 × Brest home attack 1.08 × Olympique Lyon away defence 0.82.
It expects Olympique Lyon to score 1.13 goals: league away average 1.33 × Olympique Lyon away attack 0.81 × Brest home defence 1.06.
Based on 4 home games for Brest, 4 away games for Olympique Lyon and 81 finished matches in the competition.
Attack above 1.00 means scoring more than the league average; defence above 1.00 means conceding more than average (weaker).
Most likely outcome: Brest (46%). This is an estimate, not a certainty.

Model assumptions & limitations
Assumptions
- Goals for each team follow independent Poisson distributions.
- Expected goals (λ) = league average home/away goals × attack strength × opponent defence strength.
- Strengths use only this competition and season: home form for the home side, away form for the away side. If either team has too few home/away games, overall form (all games) is used instead and this is stated in the explanation.
- Strengths are shrunk towards the league average when few games have been played.
- Predictions are for the score after regular time (90 minutes plus stoppage time).
- The model's tipped score is the one with the highest expected points under the game's scoring system, not necessarily the most likely single score.
Limitations
- No injuries, suspensions, line-ups, transfers, rotation or motivation are considered.
- No xG or shot data is used – the current data source does not provide it.
- Results in other competitions (e.g. domestic league for Champions League teams) are not included.
- Independent Poisson models tend to slightly underestimate draws.
- Probabilities are estimates with considerable uncertainty, not facts or guarantees.
